Except a lot of it doesn't fit because tons of it is predatory trash sold as functional when one or two things can go wrong and ruin everything.

It's hard to expect the layman to need something technical, not know enough technically to do it themselves, but have enough surface knowledge to not get ripped off. It's like threading a needle of the perfect level of wisdom.

Like I'd wager the common every dude would look for a connected hard drive, maybe Western Digital because of the market saturation, but there's just so much garbage online that half works.

Then there's interconnectivity issues, software not being available cross-platform after already spending hundreds on hardware, Apple problems.

The average user is just set and ready to be ripped off at like, all angles.

Trump is president elect of the USA and you think the problem to this issue's path to visibility is political correctness?

Call it fuckification if it gets clicks and attention, this is the USA. They vote for trash, speak their language.

The joke: every year is the year of the Linux desktop

My thought process:

Desktop: I need cost for performance...

Server: fps for the Jellyfin, transcodes for the transcode god

Solar is and isn't going to be a future successful asset, because Trump will do everything to devalue it while the rest of the world moves right on to adopting it.

Gold is at an ATH, Bitcoin is at an ATH, oil is a gamble because while Conservatives may push it, the move for renewables is against it.

Metals and materials for computer chips are still worthwhile investments and Ai is shaky unless it pulls a few more parlor tricks.

The only real things I can find that are corrupt and exempt enough from litigation or a recession...

are prisons and weapons contractors.

Actually, maybe.

Nissan and Honda both have a long history of undercutting everyone else to sell compacts and both have been working on EV tech, Nissan a little more openly than Honda, although Honda does have a deal between Acura and GM in the states for battery tech.

Honda cooks forever before they release new things, but Nissan will keep cooking new small EV compacts... forever. It's just their thing.

Facebook is really nothing without people, opinions, think groups, pacs, and assholes all fighting for attention. That is Facebook.

Once you boil it down to that, it kinda makes you wonder why on earth would want to make another one to start with rather than remove the entire concept from existence.

No, it's what I can put back rn barring photosynthesis so I wouldn't have to buy food.

I'm working on it.

The functions I use Facebook for are only valid if it's full of the majority of mankind.

Dating, and finding cheap used shit to buy in a parking lot.

Gabe could turn off the entire friends feature and not get a bit of pushback since everyone uses discord anyway.

If it's about Team Fortress 2...alright, yeah. I get it.

  1. Samba (I can move files now, sweet!)

  2. Jellyfin (I can watch stuff, sweet!)

  3. Qbittorrent-wireguard (for pirating copyrighted material from the internet illegally)

  4. Somesuch Wireguard solution (for accessing the backend and doin stuff)

  5. A proxy somewhere else

The rest is extra. This gets my usual goals completed pretty well.

Pepsi or Coke?

Yes.

Honestly, I've used both. Tailscale edges out headscale by a tiny bit just because of the admin console's GUI but other than that, yeah.
